Biography
Flaco Hernandez was born in Mexico, and he joined an outlaw gang of 10 men and launched many raids into the interior of the American West, including Valentine, Nebraska; Strawberry, Texas; and Annesburg, Arkansas, and he became wanted in eight states and was nicknamed "The Terror of the Rockies". By 1899, he had joined the Del Lobo Gang in Colorado. The author Theodore Levin sent the outlaw Arthur Morgan to interview Hernandez about the gunslinger Jim Boy Calloway, but Hernandez was combattive, immediately insisting upon a duel. Morgan killed Hernandez in the ensuing gunfight and photographed his body; Levin attributed Hernandez's death to Calloway in his biographical book.
